With the new Aquilo planet, it is now expected for the players to fill large bodies of water with tens of thousands of landfills (or rather ice platforms). This quickly increases the savefile size into tens of megabytes. It would be nice to optimize the corner case of large areas completely covered by landfill, and not save each landfill as a separate entity.

I would think that the savefile being a zip would substantially offset the repetition, that's interesting if it doesn't.

Ok, I tested it on a fresh save and couldn't reproduce. So I guess the large number of platforms wasn't the cause for a savefile size increase.

If you can give me the save file I can check what the size is being spent on.
